Act-On is the only vendor to be classified a Leader in both Forrester Wave™ market categories — Small Marketing Teams and Large Enterprises, and is one of two companies noted for its admirable job delivering functionality for nearly every criterion in the evaluation. Its product and delivery models are right-sized for the small and medium-sized businesses, as well as departments of large enterprises.

The 75 evaluation criteria for the Forrester Wave™ looked at a mix of current product, future vision, and company strength. The criteria were grouped into three high-level buckets: Current Offering, Strategy, and Market Presence — which, combined, determined the Forrester Wave™ rankings of the nine most significant solution providers invited to participate in the assessment.

“Right from the very beginning, we set our sights on the mid-market companies with revenues under $500M,” said Raghu Raghavan, CEO of Act-On Software. “In the process of serving this market, we discovered that mid-market companies might have small marketing teams — but big ambitions. As we evolved to satisfy their requirements, we found that we had a solution that was very well-suited to large enterprises also.”
